Screening (Work Package 1): Adults over 40 who have been referred for a chest X-ray by their GP will be reviewed by the clinical trials

Should low-dose CT be used instead of chest X-ray to screen patients for lung cancer when they have possible symptoms?

This study looks at whether a special type of X-ray called a low-dose CT scan is better than a regular chest X-ray for finding lung cancer early in people with symptoms. Finding cancer earlier often means better treatment outcomes, but CT scans have some downsides.
